Using “weird” about a comedian actually risks the whole gambit IMO. You start calling everyone weird, maybe it’s just you who is the unusual person calling everyone who disagrees with you weird.
The whole point of the attack is that the weird people are not acceptable elected officials. Keep it to people who are trying to get elected.
I thought it was a bad comedy special but it’s just wild the amount of hate I’ve seen for him and it. Like we already knew he had no idea what he was talking about on Covid, he admits as such (standard “don’t listen to a comedian for that” take that he and Jon Stewart trot out all the time). You could see it as his surrender on the topic. People seem to be taking it more as a “he’s still talking about it.”
